Clinical Trials

Belinostat (PXD101) has been evaluated across numerous clinical trials ranging from Phase 1 to Phase 3, investigating hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, including peripheral T-cell lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, neuroendocrine tumors, and metastatic breast cancer. Sponsored by academic medical centers, government organizations such as the National Cancer Institute, and pharmaceutical companies like Acrotech Biopharma and Pfizer, trial recruitment statuses include completed, active, and recruiting cohorts. These studies evaluate combination therapies, targeted regimens, and genotype-directed dosing strategies.

Check the Belinostat (PXD101) product page for in-depth specifications, including solubility, stock solutions, MOA, and working concentrations.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Belinostat functions as a potent hydroxamate-type inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, binding directly to the catalytic domain to block HDAC activity and increase intracellular histone acetylation levels. This hyperacetylation restores expression of silenced tumor-suppressor genes and triggers cytotoxicity via apoptosis and autophagy, suppressing disease progression in clinical conditions such as peripheral T-cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).
